New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has vowed to stop clearing homeless encampments once he takes office in January. The move is an initial indicator that Mamdani will be sticking to the true-blue leftism that he ran on, which favors performative compassion over any actual plans to improve the homeless situation. Outgoing Democratic Mayor Eric Adams blasted Mamdani’s decision on social media. According to him, ending sweeps would create a “quality-of-life nightmare,” and “Leaving people to suffer in the cold isn’t just neglectful, it’s a disgrace.” In his statement, Mamdani said that the goal of his administration would be to…

Democrats and the media have spent the past week implying that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is a possible war criminal, claiming that he ordered a second strike on a Venezuelan drug boat designed to kill off stranded survivors. New details have emerged, though, that paint a starkly different picture of what happened. According to ABC News, a source knowledgeable on the attack said that two survivors climbed back into the boat after the initial strike. These survivors were thought to be attempting to salvage some of the drugs. If true, this would go against initial news coverage of the…
Liberals have settled on who to blame for the recent shooting of two National Guard troops in Washington, DC: President Donald J. Trump. Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal is charged with the attack that wounded one soldier and killed another, and Trump has vowed to pause immigration from third world countries in response. According to a wide swath of liberal pundits, though, the blame lies with Trump for deploying the National Guard to DC in the first place. According to Jane Mayer, a writer for The New Yorker, “This is so tragic, so unnecessary, these poor guardsmen should have never been…
Lawrence Reed, a repeat offender with 72 prior arrests, has been charged with federal terrorism for allegedly lighting a young woman on fire on the Chicago train system. The victim, Bethany MaGee, survived the attack, but is in critical condition, with severe burns. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy blasted Chicago authorities for their absurdly lenient treatment of Reed, saying, “This would never have happened if this thug had been behind bars. Yet Chicago lets repeat offenders roam the streets.” The attack is the second high-profile example of brazen criminality on public transit this year. In August, Decarlos Brown, Jr. was…
The battle over redistricting congressional maps is continuing in the lead-up to the 2026 midterms, with both California and Texas facing legal challenges. The Trump administration has sued California in response to the successful passage of Proposition 50, the Governor Gavin Newsom-sponsored initiative that gerrymanders the state’s congressional districts to favor Democrats. The Justice Department claimed that the new maps are racially biased in favor of Latinos. According to Jesus A. Osete, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights said, “Californians were sold an illegal, racially gerrymandered map, but the U.S. Constitution prohibits its use in 2026 and beyond.”…
Representative Majorie Taylor Greene announced that she would be resigning from Congress effective January 5, 2026, after months of criticizing the Trump administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Greene’s resignation comes after President Donald J. Trump said he would support a primary challenger in her district “if the right person runs.” He further claimed that Greene had “gone Far Left” and dubbed her “Majorie ‘Traitor’ Greene” in a Truth Social post. While Democrats have long viewed Greene as a far-right boogeyman in U.S. politics, they have looked favorably on her break with President Trump over the Epstein files. This…
Antifa protesters and rioters continued their tradition of attempting to shut down conservative events on Monday, November 10th, targeting a Turning Points USA (TPUSA) gathering at UC Berkeley. Police maintained a heavy presence as antifa threw bottles and smoke bombs outside the event. At least three people were arrested in the aftermath, including someone aptly named Jihad, who started a fight with one of the attendees. Protesters chanted “Fuck your dead homie,” disparaging murdered TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, at people waiting to enter the event. In the aftermath of Kirk’s assassination, many leftists claimed that he had brought it upon…
California State Senator Scott Wiener, who is running to replace retiring Congressman Nancy Pelosi in the House of Representatives, faced strong criticism for his transgender advocacy at a recent townhall event in San Francisco. Tish Hyman, who says that her membership at Gold’s Gym in Los Angeles was revoked after she complained about a man using the women’s locker room, sharply questioned Wiener on what he would do about protecting female-only spaces if he won the election to replace Pelosi. Wiener responded with a generic affirmation that he wanted everyone to be safe, and recited leftist talking points about trans…
Recently leaked Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) documents detailed a wishlist of the organization’s goals in New York City, now that one of their own, Zohran Mamdani, has been elected Mayor. Anti-Israeli sentiment factors heavily into the group’s goals, as they call for divesting pension funds from Israeli bonds, and for cancelling municipal contracts with Israeli companies. They also propose arresting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) officials for alleged war crimes. As a candidate, Mayor-elect Mamdani previously stated that his administration would arrest Netanyahu if he traveled to New York City. According to Mamdani, “This…
President Donald J. Trump has ramped up pressure on Senate Republicans to kill the filibuster, as Democrats drag out the government shutdown. Posting on Truth Social, Trump argued that if the GOP did not eliminate the filibuster, “FOR THREE YEARS, NOTHING WILL BE PASSED, AND REPUBLICANS WILL BE BLAMED. Elections, including the Midterms, will be rightfully brutal.” He further stated that if Republicans eliminated the filibuster, they would be able to smoothly approve their entire legislative agenda. Although Senate Majority Leader John Thune opposes the idea, some Senate Republicans have come out in support of Trump’s view. Senator Ron Johnson…
